Stacking Colored Locked-Blocks

Stacking Colored Locked-Blocks can be a great cognitive exercise for individuals with dementia. This activity involves stacking blocks of different colors and shapes, which helps improve memory, concentration, and fine motor skills.

You will need a set of colored locked-blocks. These blocks usually have interlocking mechanisms that make them easy to stack. Show them how to stack the blocks by matching the colors. Start with a simple demonstration of how to stack the blocks. For example, show how to place one block on top of another, ensuring they interlock properly.

  • Cognitive Stimulation: Stacking blocks requires planning, problem-solving, and strategic thinking, which can help stimulate cognitive functions.
  • Fine Motor Skills: Handling and placing the blocks helps improve dexterity and hand-eye coordination.
  • Memory Reinforcement: Repeatedly engaging in this activity can help reinforce memory retention and cognitive skills.
